Line 46:
* [[Funny Background Event]]: Watch the reunited soldiers during the tribute to General Waverly at the end -- there're lots of little bits of funny business. For instance, when he says "Ties will be worn in this area!", one fellow grins broadly and makes a point of very obviously adjusting his (already perfect) tie.
* [[Glory Days]]: Waverly tries to return to active service in the army, but they have no place for him.
* [["Happy Holidays" Dress]]: Two stunning ones worn by the Haynes sisters at the end -- as seen in the page image.
* [[Have a Gay Old Time]]: When Judy enumerates her requirements for a suitable candidate to be her bogus fiance, she includes "handsome ... gay ... witty".
* [[Headbutting Heroes]]: Bob and Betty, but only for the first five minutes together, and later when they get crossed wires (see [[Exact Eavesdropping]]).
Line 56:
* [[May-December Romance]]: Both Bob-Betty and Phil-Judy. Bob is clearly in his forties in 1954, and while Phil could conceivably be as young as his late twenties it's far more likely he's in his middle thirties. Meanwhile Betty is no more than 25, and Judy is probably 19.
* [[The Men First]]: General Waverly. ("We ate, and then he ate. We slept, and then he slept.")
* [[Mid-Atlantic Accent]]: Danny Kaye uses an exaggerated American Theater Standard accent to say "The theatah, the theatah, what's hahppened to the theatah?" at the start of "Choreography".
* [[Minstrel Shows|Minstrel Show]]: A fairly sanitized "Minstrel Show" number as part of the revue, lacking blackface and offensive dialect, and looking more like Mardi Gras than anything else.
* [[Montage]]: Several, including a [[Time Compression Montage]] showing the progress of Wallace and Davis's joint career.
